the Power of the Popular (or Post-Modern) Poz Paradigm


You must believe me despite what you think: i am not judging, but am not going to infect you, either. HIV meds aren't cheap, even with health coverage. Not to mention how often they don't work or stop working.


OK, wait. Actually, I lied. I judge. Everyone does. Constantly. It is what separates humans from all other creatures. Judgment. Free will. It's good stuff, not bad, not negative. Judgment isn't the same as feeling guilt or shame.

Read on. Mind, open, just for a bit, OK?

Wasted viagra? What is this blog all about anyway?

This is my blog which is a record of some of the more outrageous postings I have seen on the Craigslist Personals\M4M section, where guys who are supposedly HIV-negative are looking for bareback tops who are also supposedly HIV-negative.

When I read one of these ads (and there are many, every day, in every small and large city in the country), and feel particularly incensed, and think that I might be able to reach that person in some small way by telling them my experiences with how that has worked out for so many people doing what they are doing, then I go ahead and write them, and post their original ad, as well as my email to them, to my blog. It makes me feel better about seeing all those ads, at least trying to get them to stop the insanity, or, at least, admit to them that I don't know their situation, that maybe their ability to at least specify that they want an HIV-negative partner is already a big step for them, that for some people they actually have taken much time and thought a lot about how they are going to approach sex and dating and for some of them, it is an acceptable risk to play, even bareback, with people who at least are declaring themselves HIV-negative.

Some of these people do realize that it is akin Russian Roulette with varying odds. Some of them think that at least they are upping their odds by "only barebacking" with guys who at least identify as HIV-negative. I don't know if the statistic is still correct of 50% of the HIV-infected population in the US being unaware, but if that is the case, the odds still aren't great for these guys. It is very very risky and a very effective way to become infected with HIV, this whole "UB2" world.

I can't say that I know anything about it, either, and I admit that to them, because I have been HIV+ for longer than I was HIV-. Born 1964, infected 1983, you do the math. :-)

neg bottom looking to stay up and party with tops


neg bottom looking to stay up and party with tops
Let's party! I'm pretty inexperienced with Partying but willing to try it out again (no lectures). NEG bottom here 5'8'', 170, 31W, 6"C, insatiable blonde/blue bottom with a tight pink hole.

Send your FACE AND BODY. what was that? Face and Body. In first email. Thanks! Please be handsome, athletic, top, and HIVnegative!!!, Thanks guys! I have more pics to send. Looking for you to host! Raw could be fun if you are neg.


dude, how long you think you'll be able to post an ad on Craigslist like that, I mean, "neg bottom..." if you are going to be taking raw dick up your ass?

Want to know the answer? Here it is: Not very long. Yup. Asking that the dudes be hiv-negative is good, it's better than not specifying it at all, but you should understand (and I assume you don't) that fucking bareback is basically a very quick and effective way to get infected with HIV.

So whatever, have fun, but don't think you're being "safe" by only barebacking with other "neg" guys, because it's bullshit, got it?

ps - please before you write me back with some angry words about how it's none of my business, remember this: yes, you're right, so why would I bother to take some time & write you if I wasn't doing it *for* you. I have nothing to gain. I'm only trying to prevent someone (duh... you) from getting HIV. Trust me, after having it for more than 24 years, it's no picnic. I was just a kid when I got it, "it" didn't even have a name, and I don't recommend it if you can avoid it. But I don't judge, for real, I can't... I honestly have no idea what it is like to be HIV-negative, since once the test came out, boom! I was already poz. So I don't know if it's hard, or what the temptation to fuck bareback is like. Anyway, enough. Take care,

Will

Honi soit qui mal y pense. Cowards? They come in all sizes

I'm a safe neg bottom who wants to experience what a real fuck is all about, but have always played it safe. I'd like to find a hot older top who's been VERY recently tested and can show that he's NEG, to introduce me to the feeling of skin on skin.

Wanted: NEG top to introduce me to BB fun - 43

Total bottom here, very oral. Don't need or want to be "pleased," just want to make a top vey happy. I like intense fucks, so hopefully you can do that.

I'm a very discreet bi wm, clean, ddf, n/s--you be, too*. You need to host.
Dude, don't!!!

It's a long slippery slope... anyway, I just wanted to let you know that a lot of guys out there purposely lie about their status (there are some messed up SICK fukks out there, ya... they're the other side of the

*: bitch, you know what? FUCK you. "you be" is an imperative. it's a command. it's like what you say to your dog: "Sit." "Stay". "Fetch." But this is something that you are writing to the gay population at large, and you are not stating your desire, you are commanding obedience. It's fucking bullshit.
Some of us, me, in particular, were not infected with HIV out of choice. Some of us didn't get sloppy with our safe-sex practices, or get tired of having to wear rubbers, or wanted to experience all the fun everyone's talking about (barebacking, breeding, cumloads, etcetcetc).
Some of us, me again, bitch, were just falling in love in the early '80's, falling in love, bitch, you read me? And we got infected just the same.

Jock bottom hosting TOP stud in my hotel.

Jock bottom hosting TOP stud in my hotel. - 27
Woke up horned outta my mind this morning. Been in town working all week and have today off. HIV neg, 5' 10" 160. 7.5cut. Masculine, smooth. HIV neg safe bottom looking for a guy around my age to late 40s married or masculine HIV neg TOPs who LOVE to bareback and breed jock hole. You are clean, safe, HIV neg, who is hot, white/latin/black & knows how to have good sex. Not into endless emails. Send a pic in your first email and come over. Can host till 4 pm.

Also totally cool with just giving you head and swallowing.

Check out this boy's sweet fuckin' pictures. Too bad he's as dumb as a box of rocks.

To use his writing style to describe him, I'd say, "You are ignorant, unaware, stoopid and might have a death wish. Being masculine is not as important to me as is your being someone who will infect me with the human immunodeficiency virus, strain unimportant (as long as I get plenty of variety over the next few days). You come in, I ask you to confirm that you are HIV neg verbally, which you do, then having known me for all of 45 seconds, I get your dick up my ass unwrapped and beg you to flood my useless slimy pre-cumfilled cunt with even more cum."

Amazing, huh? What prose! What poetry! What another stupid fuck on Craigslist who will before too long be posting ad like, "Poz bottom looking for loads". Stupid ignorant FUCK. Probably, very likely even, a very selfish not-very-good fuck, at that.

L-O-S-E-R

Wimps Read Books; Jokks Them Time Cannot Read Nuthinge


MUSCULAR BB BOTTOM ****FOR NOW*****

musuclar* bottom boy great worked out bodt 5'11 165lb 8thick cock, looknig 4 a hot BB top clean and neg here u b 2 send and stats
"Clean and neg here." (yeah, for the moment, if that even is true). The thing is, these posters don't do when they seroconvert (and I'm pretty sure the statistics are high, somewhere around 75% of those that actually do ever go get tested and then tell the truth about it) -- what they don't do, which if they did would be so helpful, is to post basically the same message except they probably say "Discreet" or some such bullshit instead of the sheepshit way they say it in these posts: clean, u b 2.

What do they do, ask their prospective sperminators-dates to, dudes, submit a You Tube vid of themselves holding a newspapers while they scrub themselves with Zest? As IF!

WTF?? **Muscles, abs, etc. but skim cottage cheese for brains, huh?


Strangers in the night (with their heads in the sand)



Dude,

So I'm cruising along, reading the ads that are listed in my Craigslist search for "bb" under "men seeking men". . . Your headline pops out to me... Anonymous Fucking - 34... catches my eye, of course, being that I'm a hung horny bareback top man, 42 look 32, and am always up for a hot raw fuck -- within certain boundaries.


5'10", 165lb inshape bttm looking for anonymous top to fuck my bttm. Poppers ok. No disease or drugs please*. uninhibited bb bttm here, but that doesnt mean i have low standards. must be masc, good looking, hung, and healthy to play, pic is a must


So, WTF do you mean by "No disease or drugs please"? You can fuckin' bet that if you really do this shit and get your craiglist hole screwed bareback (whether or not you 'take loads') -- you will before too long, have a pretty serious disease yourself. It's called HIV-infection, in case you haven't heard of it.\

Your post will look much better on my blog with a picture next to it. Check it out. http://wastedviagra.blogspot.com

*
At least it says "please" -- manners are sooo important aren't they, I mean, if you're going to get some anonymous infective biofluids anally inserted by a complete stranger, don't you agree? that's what Emily Post taught this one, apparently -- maybe this dizzy poster should have paid more attention in 10th grade Health class, than in those after-school Charm school classes at the community college...

The ostrich and Albert Einstein

Dude, you've got a heckuva lot of nerve, or some majorly huge fuckin' balls to specify that those strangers who are going to fuck you bareback, that they be HIV-negative. Good luck with that.

If you're going to read further, then please please please consider that I am writing to you from a position of concern, and caring, and sincere desire to save you from coming down with HIV infection. It's no picnic. I'm not writing to piss you off, or tell you that you are a bad person -- I am not judging you. I am in absolutely no position to judge, take my word on that. . But I can write and maybe shed a little awareness, spur you to consider the real outcomes of what it means to have a stranger, basically, meet you for a raw bareback fuck, leave you with his DNA (or RNA, in the case of HIV) and take off, maybe even without so much as a full sentence being exchanged between the two of you. I can't argue with the "heat" factor of that type of encounter.

Half of all the people who have HIV do not even know it. That statistic is a fact, and has been proven over and over. Even more alarming is the group of guys who do know they have it, and yet continue to act as if they don't. They lie blatantly about their status, maybe. It begins innocently enough -- they were dating someone when they tested poz and couldn't bring themselves to tell the dude, deciding instead it would be simpler to sabotage the relationship than to deal with the deadpan reality of an "HIV-positive" diagnosis", especially between a couple whose only connection was sexual. So then, of all the guys you might meet, say there are 10 guys in line for a drink at Bourbon St., 5 of them are HIV-positive and don't know it. Probably another 1 or 2 of them don't know their status at all -- one is poz, the other neg, but in your world, all of those guys get to spend some time with you, finding an entry way to your body's defenses (yeah, the ass) and then putting as much of their sperm as they can in there. At that point, pardon the pun, it's a crap shoot.

So what was your posting again? Ah yes, here:

bb bottom looking for tops - 26

bb bottom looking for 1 or more tops
u must be hiv-
send pics

I don't know why you would even bother writing so, don't you know that stating so is like a challenge to the sick fucks out there who purposely infect HIV-negative guys? They call them giftgivers. Yeah it's a chilling term. You know what they call guys who do what you do? Bugchasers. Except the real bugchasers go about it much more effeciently, gathering as many guys known to be HIV-positive in the same room, to persistently and repeatedly inject him with virus-laden fuckjuice. Kind of a turnoff, isn't it?

Your posting says to me that you don't care about whether you get HIV or not. Wait, I have no right to say that or to think that I can pretend to know what you care about or don't care about. My perspective comes from, hell, havnig had HIV since practically the beginning. I got it from my first boyfriend, I was 17, he was 37. We were together for 7 years, and when we met, the acronym HIV hadn't even been invented yet, nor had anyone discovered the virus (the "V" in HIV). So for us to fuck with rubbers would have been completely bizarre and unacceptable -- I had never even seen one. Everyone fucked bareback, but it was different. Until the late 1980's, when you fucked bareback, you weren't knowingly exposing yourself to such a potentially lethal condition. Not that I say HIV or AIDS is a fatal disease. I don't say that at all; in my view that's a horribly unfair and limiting proclamation that once uttered by anyone in authority, because the ultimate future for so many who never learned to think independently, to question, and to reject that which they did not believe.

OK, I am doing some Major Rambling at this point, my apologies. . .

Though I was infected in the stone age, and the reasons were different than they are today for so many guys, I am not "better" than anyone. My HIV isn't more virtuous than someone else's. HIV is HIV and doesn't differentiate. I point out how long I've had this thing more as a disclosure in two ways. First, that I am utterly clueless what it feels like to live without HIV, I mean, to be HIV-negative, because by the time the tests came out, I was already poz. All I can imagine is the fear I might have of getting HIV, and how I would try to avoid it -- I don't know how good I would be at it.

Which brings me to the second part of my disclosure: I am not saying don't fuck bareback because it's stupid and you'll end up getting HIV. Even if I believed that were true, even if I was such an asshole as to say that to you, I would hope that you would after consideration, do what felt right to you -- balancing the risk versus the need to experience pleasure and joy, and get off -- taking off your thinking cap after all that and just going with it, having fun and maybe ignoring the issue until necessary, or until the next time.

I have a hard time picturing it as a sense of freedom, not with the upside-down twisted and deranged thinking about The second part of saying I don't know anything about HIV, is that I want to step away from all of these words and say that in the end, you know yourself and what feels right for you, and I don't know JACK about that and don't pretend to.

Thank Goodness, or God, or the Goddess or whatever, I have never been sick with anything from HIV (knocking wood). But I've still had to have many many hundreds of doctor's visits, swallowed thousands of pills to suppress the virus. Sometimes the side effects have been almost unbearable, and didn't seem worth it, if the state of being they created were to be as good as it could be.

My point? Think. Think. Think.

As I said above, I truly cannot imagine what it is like to be HIV-negative today. What with all the fascination about barebacking (of course it does feel better, duh!), and partying, and the disconnect that so many of my peers have between their love lives and their sex lives.

I admit that it is presumptuous of me to assume that you haven't thought these issues through already, and have come to your own level of acceptable risk, finding the lowest common denominator between the risk you're wiling to take towards contracting HIV, versus the risk of being a hermit, untouchable, within the largely promiscuous and uncaring 'mo masses. I feel for you, and wish you the best.

When poz & neg stroke together, is infection a risk?

Here's the posting, and my response (unsolicited as always) follows:

Bi jock on DL - looking to JO tonite.
Be smooth, ddf/neg, athletic, <35 with a good pic.

Hey dude,

Just so you know...

I must be bored out of my mind to write you this, but I thought I'd let you know.... um, last I checked, JO was completely safe, about as safe as you can get. so not sure why the ddf is part of your posting, unless you are looking for more, or don't realize that jacking off with someone else is totally without risk.

besides, it's sort of pointless to expect a complete stranger to be truthful about being "ddf/neg" -- I know for a fact that many guys lie about their "poz" status, and there are another good percentage of guys who actually believe they *are* still "neg" but have been having unprotected sex, have seroconverted, and haven't been tested, so they just don't know it yet, probably are afraid (or too stupid) to go find out & get treatment -- so instead, they continue saying they're neg, when that's not true.

But unless you've had your head in the sand for the past few years, you probably already knew all of these things. I'm just writing cuz i've had hiv for 25 years, and think that it must be challenging to be hiv-neg, and *stay* that way, so there ya go.

(yeah i was practically a baby when i got it, i was 17... 42 now)

anyway, take care, have fun,

Are *all* the homo baseball enthusiasts flakes, or . . .

I responded to a message on San Diego Craigslist in the "strictly platonic" m4m category. The message was posted by a guy who claimed to be looking for a baseball friend, someone to go to Padres games with. We had coffee and talked about games we wanted to go to together. Not sure if I was too young too tall too what for him, but after making plans to go to a game "soon", I think his nuts must have fallen off, cuz the flake didn't man up and say what happened, he just bought some Kotex & headed for the ladies' room at Petco.

Then some other dude posted a message on the same area of Craigslist seeking a casual buddy to go to baseball games with. He said he'd be up for watching games on his big screen TV together, too. But his words were completely meaningless as well.

Man, these dudes that go to such lengths to get their jollies are *free KEY*!!. Or is this just merely typical and expected San Diego homo BS? I'm still new to town, so I don't know. This nonsense wasn't even about dating (a complete encyclopedia of absurdities available at your local independent bookshop soon). It's about finding a person to get into a hobby with. For fukx sake, guys. Grow a pair and keep this in mind:

Say what you mean. And mean what you say. If you can't do that, don't say it.

If by chance you did say something, and can't keep your word, have a pinch of integrity: communicate that.

It will do wonders for your mood and sense of self-worth. If you don't know what "self-worth" is, just take a leap of faith and try this integrity exercise once or twice. You might find out what "self-worth" means at long last.

Who am I, besides the terse sports fan with the astringent pen & the extra time to use it liberally? I'm a recent transplant from all points up & down the West coast. A David Schwimmer lookalike, I hear all the time, intelligent, easy going, professional, educated, and really want to go to a baseball game before the season is over, and would rather not go alone. But I will, most likely, because the all-too-common abuse of good faith & serious activity-mate seekers amuses me not.

So, if someone is able to follow through with what they say, write me and we can connect and see about it.

Thanks,

Did you want it soap clean or hospital clean, Mr. Clean?

Ad on Craigslist:

need a big dick BB top to pound and cum in my tight hole - 26 Bi bottom hot young slut is horny for cock. I need a clean safe guy who wants to
pound me and cum in my ass. I love monster loads in my hole and want it now.
Send pic and number and lets fuck. My hole is super tight and ants a load now.
Pics and vid are cool. Also into groups


If you've read any of my other writings, then my response won't surprise you.

hey,

what the heck does "clean" mean?

a lot of poz guys shower, and consider themselves "clean", certainly clean enough to raw fuck & unload in a boy stupid enough to say "clean" when he means "hiv-negative".

And a "safe guy" isn't the same as safe sex.

I'm writing to help you prevent yourself from getting infected with HIV. Trust me, it's no picnic and nothing to toy around with by not saying what you mean & being much more careful than casually letting strangers insert their bodily fluids in
you.

Thanks, & take care,

What are we going to do with such stupidity? I suppose if we trust in Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection, future generations should become smarter. All I can do is try to point out failures in such dolts' thinking and then let go.

another round of neg 4 neg parties


The party was listed on Adam4Adam.

Looking to get a group of hot neg studs together for a bb gang bang. Need a hot bb btm or 2 and plenty of tops. If someone can host that'd be great too! Must be tone and hot and have pics.
How could I not respond to this moronic party planner?
Yeah, that one there on the right. ----->

I couldn't resist. In hopes of inserting some tiny light of thought or reflection into this cro-magnon's dense skull. I wrote to him,

Neg studs, hope you're pretty damn sure about that, dude. i'm sure you don't want to hear this, but i'm obligated to tell you anyway: in the last 12 months, 14 friends of mine got HIV by using the same method of protecting themselves (barebacking ONLY with other 'neg' guys).

It's a very effective way to get the virus. So like I said, I hope you're pretty damn sure about the serostatus of those 'neg' bb tops and bottoms. That could really fuck up a party, turning someone from neg to poz.

But, what-EV. Just do me a favor and don't be angry with me for writing this. It's not like I'm getting anything out of this, other than taking a bit of time to maybe spare someone the infection. There's only good in my intent.

take care,

I don't expect a reply. Do I ever? Only twice have I heard back from the neg 4 neg recipients of my well wishes and insightful uninvited, and probably unwelcome, perhaps unopened, messages. One was very thankful & positive & said my words had really shook him up, in a good way, and he was going to try to stop fantasizing about that "raw load of charged seed", and a million other poetic ways of describing the entry of the human immunodeficiency virus into the bloodstream, much more erotic somehow and apparently less realistic than the version of truth found earlier on in this very sentence.

The other responder expressed great rage, resentment and shock at my audacity and nosiness. It was none of my business, he really wanted me to understand, what he did, and how he did it, and if he got or wanted to get or pass HIV to anyone else. He didn't get his point across to me at all. I still don't get it.

Sunday, February 4, 2007

Hey, dude,

Sorry, I know this is a lot to read, especially since I am not writing to say I want to fuck you and dominate you (which, actually, I'd love to do, but I'm HIV+ and am not a liar -- like so many other people who either lie deliberately cuz they want to fuck so bad, and maybe they want to infect others so badly too, that they lie, or they lie without knowing it, if they have become poz only since their last test and don't know it yet.)

I am writing because I give a shit whether or not you get HIV, at least enough to write you, so please, whatever your reaction is, don't be angry with me -- I only have your welfare and health in mind. If I were a more selfish top, and knew how to keep my thoughts to myself, I wouldn't say anything at all... time would pass... I could just wait for you to get the bug, and then fuck you bareback when the last line of your ads read "be 420 friendly" and you just don't feel like typing the "be hiv neg" anymore, cuz it don't matter.

Just curious how long you think it's going to last, and by "it", I mean your being able to have casual sex, as a bottom, maybe while high on something, partying, and having guys fuck you bareback, and being able to continue saying that you are HIV-negative.

********************************

Neg for bb?


you KNOW how ridiculous that is, right?

"Oh yeah, I'm neg, I want to fuck you bb."

(hot fuck ensues... big hot load of cum up your hot ass. . . )

etc etc etc.

Then, 2 weeks later: "Oh, hey, dude, remember me? We fucked a couple weeks ago. I just tested poz the other day, sorry!")

******

I wasn't going to even mention the other entirely possible outcome, which is that some twisted disgusting and truly evil-minded guy will lie to guys about their status, to purposely infect them, and count those new infections as some sick notch on their belt of horrors. I've talked to guys who say they are into doing that, and they are deadly serious about the fact that they have done it, and do it, and get off on it. I wasn't going to mention it because it seems too horrific to be true, but in truth, it is too diabolical and too common to leave out. But hey, if you choose to trust a complete stranger's word about something so minor as HIV, well, you have every right to make that choice, but if you have read this, you will no longer be naive about the kinds of people out there going around promising up and down that they've got clean sperm.

******

I *know* it's none of my business what you do. Also, I have absolutely no idea what it is like to be HIV-negative. I got HIV in 1983, when I was 19 years old. Safe sex did not exist. So it was a different world, and I cannot imagine what it must be like to be, and to try to remain, HIV-negative. So I don't pretend to know what it is like, and I don't judge you. But I read a message like yours and I think of the guys who have gotten HIV by only fucking bareback with other "neg" guys. It Happens so often I could cry. In the year 2005 alone, fourteen of my friends became HIV+ by practicing the method of prevention you are using.

Hey, maybe you know what you are doing, and are accepting the risk that you are taking. But in case you didn't know, I'm writing to inform you. Make your own decision, obviously... you are a grown-up and have to live with whatever choices you make.

HIV is no picnic, though. Sure, I've had it more than 23 years, and have never been sick and look and feel perfectly healthy. But that's not the case for many many (millions) of people who are sick and who are now dead.

Write me back, or not, as you wish, but please don't write me some angry tirade about minding my own business. If i didn't feel so strongly about preventing guys from getting HIV in the first place, I wouldn't write you at all. So, I hope you will take this in the well-intentioned spirit it was written.

Open Letter to HIV-negative Guys Who Bareback

All righty, then. I assume by your non-reply that you aren't very comfortable with whatever decision you have made, if you have made any at all, about who you are going to let fuck you bb, how you are going to know if someone is HIV-negative or not, so, I'm just going to send you this information.

It's not meant to piss you off. I send you this with the best of intentions, for your continued health and welfare. If you choose to see it differently, please keep that to yourself, however, if you would like to ask me any questions, or comment, or whatever, that's great.

Thanks,


*******

Just curious how long you think it's going to last, this practice of yours to have casual sex, as a bottom, while partying, -- hey, what you do is not my business, and I am not saying it is my business, not by a long shot. But don't pretend that just because you requested in your ad that all cummers be HIV-negative, means that they are HIV-negative. Some might be. Some might have been at the time of their most recent HIV-test, whenever that was. Some just outright lie. You have to know that those people are out there, and some do lie about their status out of malice, out of contempt and hatred for humanity. Others lie a more innocent lie, out of shame, or fear, or any number of psychological complexes and neuroses that only matter in that they can wind up getting your ass full of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus... a virus which I urge you not to invite into your life.

So, how long do you believe you can play this Russian roulette without getting a bullet between the eyes? Six months? A Year? Two weeks?

You don't need to answer to me, obviously, but having lived with HIV for 24 years (I'm only 42, you do the math) one thing I don't pretend is to understand what it's like to be HIV-negative in a world of poz guys barebacking, the mystique, I know, is compelling. But then, taking meds every day forever is compelling, too. So are quarterly trips to the doctor's office for blood draws. And the dread that the meds will stop working, that I'll die twenty years before my parents, 40 years before all of my friends.

So I know that your rationale for your night of fun is either because you are:
  1. Stupid and haven't thought about the likelihood that one of the "loads" is from someone who is either truthfully saying that he is HIV-negative, but that's only as of his most recent HIV-test, whenever that was. And if he's a guy who only barebacks with other HIV-negative guys, then I'm sure that's fine.

    Fourteen of my friends became HIV+ doing what you're doing, and that was just in 2004, from January to November.

  2. Already HIV+ and just do this for the thrill of seeing what guys will show up, actually hoping to have some sick fuck show up who you already know to be Positive. (I met a guy who was into that trip once, and still don't understand that particulary psychosis).

  3. Just assuming that it's just a matter of time til you get HIV, and you figure you can at least delay it by "requesting" that your loads be from NEG cocks. Good luck with that.

Cheers,

PS -- Hopefully it's obvious that I didn't go to the trouble of writing you to piss you off or ruin your night. If somehow you think about this, and decide to change your behaviour, or not, but at least think about what you are doing in a conscious way, then I'm happy. I have written guys in similiar circumstances and I know it has been helpful to them. For me, I can't in good conscience read a post such as yours and not take some action, so if you feel anger or bitterness towards me, I apologize, however, there is no mean spirited intent in my writing, only good, only joy. If you find you have questions, or want to write back, or talk sometime, that's cool, I'm open to that (i'm not some freak, just someone with a good mind and heart).

Take care,

Will

Bitch, You Cast Your Net Too Damn Wide (The Point of San Diego)

So there's this Muscle Pig "bottom" who Point-edly insists on describing himself as super hot, hot ass, muscled, blah blah blah, and says what a great time he and I will have, when we fuck and party. So far, though, every time we are going to get together, it turns out that at the last minute, he is either already busy with someone else, or just decides to hook up with someone else -- so I've deduced that he is either casting a wide net, and whoever is first to respond and is available as soon as HE is available, gets him. OR, he's completely fucking with me, but I don't think he's got anything in for me in particular, he's just selfish and takes what he wants and doesn't think for a moment about how anyone he comes into contact feels about anything -- it's all ME ME ME, MY LUSTS, MY HOLE.

It strikes me as a pretty fucked up way to go through life. And so, if you're reading this, mister "only party once in a while and so pardon me but I do as I please -- yes we had plans but like I said I only do this once in a while and I have to get what I can get when I can get it, not wait around" -- if indeed you are reading this, next time you write me wanting cock, -- oh fuck, why am I bothering to say anything at all to the vain princess -- he wouldn't even notice if he gets a response from me next time or not -- he'll already be driving off in search of that alternate cock.
And so, another lonely j/o session for me. Gnite San Diego.

This is an UNJUST world, where I am a handsome hot looking guy, hung, and I'm jacking off, alone, because I'm not a selfish asshole, and to get turned on, I need connection, more than saying "Hi, man" to a stranger strummed to the tune of "Zippers Unzipping". Sometimes I wish I could be a "normal" faggot, who believes that sex is "just sex", but when I'm thinking right and not down like I am now, I am truly glad that my wiring is different. It's just crappy when it seems like everyone else is getting laid, and often, and I'm not getting any. :-((((
